Take Me Home, Country Roads

"Take Me Home, Country Roads" is originally sung by John Denver.

When Roger steals Steve's band in "American Dream Factory", Steve is about to give up playing at the Langley 4th of July Festival when Stan tries to cover for illegal Mexican immigrants working for him that are about to be deported and helps Steve form a replacement band. At the festival, Steve and the Mexicans sing John Denver's song "Take Me Home, Country Roads"- the only one they know in English about America they used to sing while dreaming of immigrating. Hearing it, Stan realizes that they love America so much he can't allow them to be deported; Hayley also realizes that she was hypocritical to defend illegal immigration but also use the INS for petty revenge. After the song, the two throw all the Fourth of July bears as free gifts into the audience, which causes such a mob to get them that the INS agents are temporarily unable to act as the Mexicans are smuggled away.

Lyrics
Steve: Hello, everyone. We got a real treat for you tonight. Paco and his family here used to sing this song back in Mexico while dreaming of coming to America.

Steve and the Ass-Tonos: Almost heaven

West Virginia

Blue Ridge mountains

Shenandoah River

Country roads,

take me home

To the place...

I belong

West Virginia

Mountain mama

Take me home

Country roads

Stan: My God, listen to them sing about America. They aren't parasites, they're people. Paco and his family feel lucky just to be in this country. All we do is take it for granted, and they're willing to work in my basement for soda...soda that I watered down. It's not about having kiss-my-ass money, it's about being here in the greatest country in the world.That's the American dream, Francine.

Francine: Okay. But can I just have one to help me with the laundry? There's just so much laundry, Stan.

Hayley: I'm a hypocrite, too, Dad. I used Paco to get at you, then try to throw him away by calling INS.

Stan:  You heartless bitch... I'm kidding. We can't let INS take them. We need to cause a distraction so we can sneak them out.

Hayley: Are you sure?- You'd be giving up your dream

Stan: I'm sure.

Steve and the Ass-Tonos: Country roads,
